Schweitzer Fellow

Jan 2023 - Present
Through this fellowship program, I am aiming to develop a project to improve healthcare literacy and health system engagement throughout Pittsburgh communities that are traditionally excluded from healthcare services. Through one-on-one interactions and educational workshops, my partner and I will increase healthcare literacy and empower individual ownership of healthcare decision-making and health system utilization. We plan to adapt the project based on participants’ needs and interests to best serve the community. Show less

Hospital Elder Life Program Volunteer

May 2019 - Jul 2022
The Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) at West Penn Hospital is a comprehensive care program for older adults to proactively assess and address risk factors contributing to delirium during hospital stays. While volunteering, it is my responsibility to assess the patients and accurately report our interactions so the nurses and physicians can properly triage patients and address new or developing symptoms of delirium. This experience has provided me with a multitude of experiences in patient communication, geriatric care, and hospital logistics. Show less
